Swiftwater Rescue Clinics
Take a Swiftwater Rescue course in Maine. This clinic teaches recognition and avoidance of common river hazards and execution of self-rescue. Rescue vest application, strainers, entrapment, and pins are discussed, and scenarios are practiced. We use kayaks, rafts, inflatable kayaks, and canoes. All equipment is provided. We offer 1-, 2-, and 3-day Swiftwater Rescue clinics, or let us customize a class that suits your group's needs. There is no better place to have this American Canoe Association instruction than in Maine. There will be instruction both on and off the water. Northeast Guide Service's certified ACA instructors and Registered Maine Guides will teach you what you need to know about river safety. All of our Swiftwater Rescue clinics meet at our North Maine Woods Basecamp at Pittston Farm (unless otherwise noted*).
